Linda and Abilene
No woman could escape having her body used in the raw and Wild West of 1869!
A dark exploitation Western centered on sexual trauma, incestuous desire, and revenge, treating its brutal subject matter with sensationalism rather than depth.
19th century siblings Abilene and Tod, orphaned on their farm, become sexually attracted to each other. The confused Tod flees to a nearby town where he meets local bar girl Linda, and begins a sexual relationship with her. Meanwhile, a cowboy rapes Abilene, leading Tod seeking revenge despite Linda's wariness and growing compassion for Abilene.
